Caracal USA, CAR816 A2 Pistol, Short Stroke Piston, 5.56mm, 11.5", Black
The CAR816 A2 is a short stroke, push rod gas piston operated pistol chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO. Originally designed for dedicated military use, it has been tested and proven above and beyond the standards set by NATO for military small arms. Regarded as the next evolution in the short stroke piston design, the Caracal CAR816 A2 is lighter, faster, and slimmer than other offerings in this category.
Following Caracal's mission statement, the CAR816 A2 is designed and built with a focus on safety, durability, and reliability. Utilizing only the best components and materials, rigorous testing protocols, and a dedication for craftsmanship, Caracal USA can provide, what we believe to be is the most reliable, dependable and durable short stroke piston available today.
